Analysis shows that the value through 2025 at a five percent real discount rate of the overall economic benefit that would result from the technical success of coal gasification under GRI funding compared to failure is 33 billion dollars. The portion of that expected benefit specifically attributable to GRI funding is computed to be 6 billion dollars. The analysis concludes that despite the different time frames toward which coal gasification and other key supply programs are directed, their benefits are highly linked.
